Bethel, Justice. Erik Albert Williams, Jr. was convicted of malice murder and other crimes in connection with the shooting death of Deangelo Hudgins and the shooting of Albert Gilbert. On appeal, Williams raises three enumerations of error: (1) that the evidence presented at trial was insufficient as a matter of due process to support his convictions; (2) that the trial court erred by failing to grant a new trial when Williams’s accomplice’s guilty plea was admitted into evidence and used substantively against him; and (3) that the trial court abused its discretion by determining that his constitutional right to a speedy trial was not violated.[1] For the reasons that follow, we affirm Williams’s convictions. 1. Viewed in the light most favorable to the verdicts, the evidence presented at trial showed the following. On July 18, 2010, Hudgins left a party with his then-girlfriend, Atalecia Anderson, and several of her friends. While Anderson was driving, one of her friends, Shardae Davis, and Hudgins got into an argument in the car. The argument escalated, and Anderson pulled the car over to the side of the road. As the argument continued, Shardae’s brother, Tony Davis, arrived at the car. Tony was informed by another passenger that Hudgins had harmed Shardae. Tony and Hudgins then got into a physical altercation. After the incident, Tony, Shardae, and two other passengers, Trenay Johnson and Jasmine Johnson, left to go to the apartment complex where Trenay and Jasmine lived. On his way to the apartment, Tony called Williams to tell him what happened. During the call, Trenay gave Williams directions to the apartment. Anderson and Hudgins left separately in Anderson’s car. At some point, Hudgins asked to exit the car so that he could walk home. While Hudgins was walking, he called Gilbert and asked him to pick him up and drive him to Trenay and Jasmine’s apartment so he could speak with Tony. After they arrived at the apartment, Hudgins and Gilbert knocked on the door and relayed a desire to speak with Tony but were told by someone inside to leave. As Hudgins and Gilbert walked back into the parking lot, they saw that another car was blocking Gilbert’s car. When they approached the passenger side of the car to ask why it was blocking them in, two shots were fired at them. Both Gilbert and Hudgins were hit. Gilbert was shot in the hip. The shot fractured his hip and caused permanent damage. Hudgins was shot in the chest and died as a result of his injuries. Neither victim was armed. The car from which the shots were fired was later identified as belonging to Williams’s accomplice, Edwin Cruz. A few days after the shooting, Williams called Tony. During this call, Williams apologized “for bringing that drama to th[e] apartment” but stated that he “d[idn't] give a damn who he is, he ain’t had the right putting his hands on [Tony's] sister and none of that.” Williams was later arrested and interviewed by the police. After receiving Miranda warnings,[2] Williams admitted that he and Cruz drove to the apartment complex that night. Williams also admitted that he shot the gun but claimed that he shot at Hudgins and Gilbert in self-defense because he was scared. 2. Williams first contends that the evidence presented at trial was insufficient under Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U. S. 307 (99 SCt 2781, 61 LE2d 560) (1979), to support his convictions because he presented evidence that he shot Hudgins and Gilbert in self-defense. See OCGA § 16-3-21 (a) (“[A] person is justified in using force which is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm only if he or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent death or great bodily injury to himself or herself or a third person or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.”). Williams claims that no rational trier of fact could have found him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt because he presented sufficient evidence supporting his self-defense claim. Namely, Williams argues that the evidence showed that Hudgins acted aggressively earlier in the evening; “was a large, fit person”; had consumed alcohol that evening; and approached Williams “in the dark of the night and placed Williams in reasonable apprehension of death or bodily injury.” We disagree that the evidence presented was insufficient. When evaluating a challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence [as a matter of constitutional due process], we view all of the evidence presented at trial in the light most favorable to the verdict and ask whether any rational trier of fact could have found the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the crimes of which he was convicted. Jones v. State, 304 Ga. 594, 598 (2) (820 SE2d 696) (2018) (citing Jackson, 443 U. S. at 318-319 (III) (B)). Here, the State presented evidence that Hudgins and Gilbert simply walked up to Cruz’s car just before they were shot. Additionally, the State presented evidence from which the jury could infer that Williams fired the shots not in self-defense, but rather in retribution for the earlier altercation between Hudgins and Shardae. Such evidence included statements Williams made to Tony two days after the shooting in which he said that Hudgins had no right to put his hands on Shardae. Thus, despite his claim of self-defense, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the verdicts, we conclude that the evidence was sufficient for a reasonable jury to find Williams guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. See Jackson, 443 U. S. at 319 (III) (B). See also Harris v. State, 313 Ga. 225, 229 (2) (869 SE2d 461) (2022) (“We leave to the jury the resolution of conflicts or inconsistencies in the evidence, credibility of witnesses, and reasonable inferences to be derived from the facts, and we do not reweigh the evidence.” (citations and punctuation omitted)); Howard v. State, 298 Ga. 396, 398 (1) (782 SE2d 255) (2016) (“A jury is free to reject a defendant’s claim that he acted in self-defense.” (citation omitted)). 3. Williams next enumerates as error the trial court’s failure “to grant a new trial when [Cruz's] plea[[3]] was admitted into evidence and used substantively against [Williams].” The central problem with this claim of error is that Cruz’s guilty plea (and subsequent conviction) was never admitted into evidence. Williams never called Cruz as a witness, and the State never introduced evidence of Cruz’s plea and conviction. We cannot review the admission of evidence for error if it was never admitted. Nevertheless, Williams’s argument in support of this enumeration tries to assert that the trial court’s purported ruling to allow the impeachment of Cruz via his guilty plea had the effect of impairing Williams’s constitutional due process right to present a “complete defense.” Assuming, without deciding, that the trial court made a definitive ruling as to whether Cruz’s guilty plea would have been admitted into evidence[4] and that Williams’s claim of error presents a cognizable due process claim,[5] we note that such a claim would require a showing of harm. But no evidence that could provide a basis for the evaluation of harm appears in the record. Because Cruz never testified under oath, nor did his counsel make a proffer[6] to the trial court providing the substance of his would-be testimony, it is impossible to determine whether any supposed error leading to the exclusion of his testimony resulted in harm to Williams. This deficiency is fatal to the preservation of the sort of claim Williams attempts to construct.[7] See Fuss v. State, 271 Ga. 319, 321 (3) (519 SE2d 446) (1999) (“If [the appellant] did not intend to acquiesce in the court’s ruling, he should have made apparent in some proper way what the testimony would have been, for without this showing this court can not [sic] determine whether injury resulted.” (citation and punctuation omitted)). See also Harris v. State, 314 Ga. 238, 290 n.82 (875 SE2d 659) (2022) (agreeing with the trial court’s conclusion that the appellant had not preserved a claim of error because he did not call the witness to testify at trial); McKoy v. State, 303 Ga. 327, 332-334 (2) (812 SE2d 293) (2018) (concluding that the appellant failed to preserve a “claim that the trial court committed reversible error by ruling in limine that [evidence] would be admissible” as a prior inconsistent statement because the appellant “refused to testify on cross-examination and the disputed [evidence was] never admitted”); McAllister v. State, 351 Ga. App. 76, 86-87 (2) (830 SE2d 443) (2019) (concluding that the appellant waived his claim that the trial court erred in denying his motion in limine to limit the cross-examination of an expert witness by failing to call the witness to testify at trial). Without such evidence, our review would be entirely speculative. See Luce v. United States, 469 U. S. 38, 42 (III) (105 SCt 460, 83 LE2d 443) (1984) (“Any possible harm flowing from a district court’s in limine ruling permitting impeachment by a prior conviction is wholly speculative. The ruling is subject to change when the case unfolds . . . the district judge is free, in the exercise of sound judicial discretion, to alter a previous in limine ruling.”). Therefore, this enumeration fails. 4. Finally, Williams argues that his constitutional right to a speedy trial was violated when he was not brought to retrial for 25 months after remittitur of his case to the superior court following the reversal of his convictions by this Court. The trial court determined that Williams’s constitutional speedy-trial right was not violated and denied both a motion for discharge and acquittal that Williams filed three months prior to his trial and Williams’s motion for new trial. In both instances, the trial court reviewed each of the Barker-Doggett factors and found that, overall, the factors weighed heavily against Williams due to his failure to assert his speedy trial rights until three months before trial and his failure to demonstrate that he was prejudiced by the delay. See Barker v. Wingo, 407 U. S. 514, 530-533 (92 SCt 2182, 22 LE2d 101) (1972); Doggett v. United States, 505 U. S. 647, 651 (112 SCt 2686, 120 LE2d 520) (1992)). We see no abuse of the trial court’s discretion here. The United States Constitution guarantees that, “[i]n all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial,” U.S. Const. amend. VI. Courts examining an alleged denial of the constitutional right to a speedy trial first must consider whether the interval between the defendant’s arrest, indictment, or other formal accusation and the trial is sufficiently long so as to be characterized as presumptively prejudicial. If the delay is long enough to invoke the presumption of prejudice, the trial court must balance four factors: (1) whether the delay before trial was uncommonly long, (2) whether the government or the criminal defendant is more to blame for the delay, (3) whether, in due course, the defendant asserted his right to a speedy trial, and (4) whether he suffered prejudice as the delay’s result. Cash v. State, 307 Ga. 510, 513 (2) (837 SE2d 280) (2019) (citing Barker v. Wingo, 407 U. S. 514, 530-533 (92 SCt 2182, 22 LE2d 101) (1972) and Doggett v. United States, 505 U. S. 647, 651 (112 SCt 2686, 120 LE2d 520) (1992)). In this context, “we must accept the factual findings of the trial court unless they are clearly erroneous.” (Citation and punctuation omitted.) Henderson v. State, 310 Ga. 231, 235 (2) (850 SE2d 152) (2020). Moreover, “[t]he trial court’s weighing of each factor and its balancing of all four factors — its ultimate judgment — are reviewed on appeal only for abuse of discretion.” State v. Porter, 288 Ga. 524, 526 (2) (a) (705 SE2d 636) (2011). As we have discussed, “[s]peedy-trial claims require trial courts to engage in a difficult and sensitive balancing process. This task is committed principally to the discretion of the trial court, and this Court has a limited role in reviewing the trial court’s decision.” (Citations and punctuation omitted.) Henderson, 310 Ga. at 235 (2). Here, the trial court found that the delay in bringing Williams to retrial following remittitur of his case from this Court was 25 months and that it was therefore presumptively prejudicial. Neither party disputes whether the trial court properly calculated the length of delay or whether it properly determined that the delay was presumptively prejudicial. See Heard v. State, 295 Ga. 559, 564-565 (2) (d) (761 SE2d 314) (2014) (“[A] delay approaching one year is sufficient in most cases to raise a presumption of prejudice and to warrant a more searching inquiry. . . .” (citation and punctuation omitted)). Williams does, however, challenge some of the trial court’s determinations and its overall weighing of the four Barker-Doggett factors. (a) Length of the Delay. Neither party contests that the trial court properly weighed the length of the delay against the State. Even though the trial court determined that the 25-month delay was not uncommonly long due to the extensive preparation required in this case, the trial court still weighed the length of delay against the State. We conclude that this did not constitute an abuse of discretion. See Taylor v. State, 312 Ga. 1, 12 (4) (b) (i) (860 SE2d 470) (2021) (determining that the trial court properly weighed a 30-month delay against the State after it determined that the delay was not uncommonly long). (b) Reasons for the Delay. The trial court weighed the reason for delay differently in its orders on Williams’s two motions. In the first order, the trial court weighed this factor slightly against the State because it found that the State failed to provide an adequate reason for the delay and that there were two prosecutors assigned to the case who left the district attorney’s office while the case was pending retrial. The trial court noted that in deciding to weigh this factor only slightly against the State, it considered that there were several joint requests for a continuance and that Williams never announced that he was ready for trial. In its later order denying Williams’s motion for new trial, the trial court weighed the reason for delay against Williams because there was an 11-month delay caused by the withdrawal of William’s first trial counsel and because of the efforts required to find new counsel for Williams after a conflict of interest arose. The trial court also noted that Williams’s initial counsel filed four applications for leave of court. In making its determination, the trial court also considered plea negotiations between the parties but found that they did not weigh against either party and considered that there were several changes in prosecutors. Williams asserts that the trial court abused its discretion by ultimately weighing this factor against him. He claims that the delay should have been weighed against the State due to its responsibility to bring a defendant to trial. However, “we give deference to the trial court’s findings and conclusions unless we find it abused its substantial and broad discretion.” Dillard v. State, 297 Ga. 756, 760 (4) (778 SE2d 184) (2015) (citing Heard, 295 Ga. at 563). This discretion extends to a trial court’s weighing of facts in determining to which party certain delays should be attributed. See Williams v. State, 277 Ga. 598 (1), 599 (592 SE2d 848) (2004). Here, the 11-month delay in securing conflict counsel supports the trial court’s ultimate determination that the reason for delay should weigh against Williams, and we determine that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in weighing this factor against Williams when it denied his motion for new trial. See Vermont v. Brillon, 556 U. S. 81, 90 (II) (129 SCt 1283, 173 LE2d 231) (2009) (“Because the attorney is the defendant’s agent when acting, or failing to act, in furtherance of the litigation, delay caused by the defendant’s counsel is also charged against the defendant.” (citation and punctuation omitted)). (c) Assertion of the Right to a Speedy Trial. The trial court weighed Williams’s delay in asserting his right to a speedy trial heavily against him. He argues that his delay in asserting his right to speedy trial should not be weighed against him at all (or at least should not weigh against either party) because he “opted, in good faith, to give the Court, the State, and the public defender’s office fair opportunity to bring this matter in a timely fashion” due to the “complex procedural posture in this case” and because he asserted his rights “once the delay became egregious. . . .” But Williams did not assert his right to a speedy trial until three months before his trial — around 22 months after remittitur of his case to the superior court following the reversal of his convictions by this Court. While Williams “was not required to seek a speedy trial at the first available opportunity, it was incumbent upon him to put the State on notice that he preferred to be tried as soon as possible.” Dillard, 297 Ga. at 761 (4). See also State v. Porter, 288 Ga. 524, 529 (2) (c) (3) (705 SE2d 636) (2011) (“Our cases hold that an extended delay in asserting the right to a speedy trial should normally be weighed heavily against the defendant.” (citations omitted; emphasis in original)). Therefore, it was not an abuse of discretion for the trial court to weigh Williams’s failure to assert his right to a speedy trial until three months before trial against him. See Dillard, 297 Ga. at 761 (4) (concluding that the trial court properly weighed the third factor against the appellant when he waited until “a mere three months before trial” to assert his right to a speedy trial); Cash, 307 Ga. at 517-518 (2) (b) (iii) (identifying no abuse of discretion where the trial court weighed the appellant’s assertion of his right to speedy trial against him when he did not assert his right until over a year after his arrest); Robinson v. State, 287 Ga. 265, 268 (1) (c) (695 SE2d 201) (2010) (determining that the 16-month delay after arrest in asserting the right to speedy trial weighed against the appellant). (d) Prejudice. The trial court found that Williams failed to present any evidence that he suffered personally or legally from the delay and therefore weighed this factor against him. Williams asserts this was error because affirmative proof of prejudice was not required and prejudice should have been presumed by the delay. However, while a presumption of prejudice always exists “once the threshold of presumptive prejudice is satisfied[,] . . . the prejudice prong may be weighed against the defendant even in cases of excessive delay.” Cash, 307 Ga. at 518 (2) (b) (iv). Here, we cannot say that the trial court abused its discretion by weighing the prejudice factor against Williams because he “failed to establish oppressive pretrial incarceration or anxiety and concern beyond that which necessarily attends confinement” and because he “failed to present any specific evidence that his ability to defend himself had been impaired.” Ruffin v. State, 284 Ga. 52, 65 (2) (663 SE2d 189) (2008). Thus, in attempting to establish that his right to speedy trial was violated, Williams cannot rely solely on the presumptive prejudice resulting from the 25-month delay. See Harris v. State, 284 Ga. 455, 457 (667 SE2d 361) (2008) (holding that the presumptive prejudice from a five-and-a-half-year delay was insufficient to “carry [his speedy trial claim] without regard to the other Barker criteria”); Cash, 307 Ga. at 519 (2) (b) (iv) (“The trial court did not abuse its discretion by failing to weigh th[e prejudice] factor in [the appellant's] favor merely because his case had been delayed for 28 months.”). Therefore, we see no abuse of discretion in the trial court’s weighing of the prejudice factor against Williams. See Dillard, 297 Ga. at 761-763 (4) (determining that the prejudice factor “weigh[ed] against [the] appellant” where he “failed to show that the delay interfered with his ability to present evidence which would have strengthened his defense” and “could not point to any harm other than the incarceration itself” (citation omitted)); Taylor, 312 Ga. at 14 (4) (b) (iv) (determining that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in weighing the prejudice factor against the appellant when she only “generally assert[ed] that her defense was prejudiced” (citation omitted)). Given Williams’s delay in asserting his right to speedy trial and his failure to present any evidence of prejudice, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in finding that the Barker-Doggett factors as a whole weighed against Williams. See Dillard, 297 Ga. at 762-763 (4); Ruffin, 284 Ga. at 65-66 (3). Accordingly, we see no abuse of the trial court’s discretion in its conclusion that the 25- month delay in retrying Williams did not violate his constitutional right to a speedy trial. This enumeration of error fails. Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur.
